LEARNING TO DRIVE
How do I steer the car?
Decision Maker → Learner Driver
QUICK ANSWER
Steering should be smooth and controlled. Look toward where you want the vehicle to travel and use small corrections rather than constantly fighting the wheel.
WHAT THAT MEANS
Your visual attention strongly affects steering. Looking too close can make control less stable.
SUPPORTING ANSWER SECTIONS
